Dixie Regional earns Thomson Reuters Top 100 and Everest Awards

Thomson Reuters, a leading provider of information and solutions to improve the cost and quality of healthcare, has listed Dixie Regional Medical Center as one of the 100 Top Hospitals in the nation. In addition, Dixie Regional was one of 23 hospitals among the 100 winners to be recognized as an Everest Award winner for the greatest rate of improvement over a five-year period.

“Recognition such as this is made possible because of the skilled, caring efforts of the many men and women who work in our hospital,” said Terri Kane, CEO/administrator. “Our physicians, leaders, employees and volunteers come together on a daily basis with the common goal to provide our patients with the best possible care and I am so grateful for and proud of their excellent work.”

The winning hospitals were announced in the March 29 edition of Modern Healthcare magazine.

"The boards, executives and physician leaders of the Everest award-winning hospitals developed long-term strategies and executed them with extraordinary skill to produce extraordinary results,” said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement and 100 Top Hospitals programs at Thomson Reuters. “The Everest award winners are leaders and innovators and they are bringing great value to their communities."

If all Medicare inpatients received the same level of care as those treated in these 100 Top Hospitals award winners:
• More than 98,000 additional patients would survive each year.
• More than 197,000 patient complications would be avoided annually.
• Expenses would decline by an aggregate $5.5 billion a year.
• The average patient stay would decrease by nearly half a day.
